LOVING TRIBUTE TO HEATH LEDGER BY JOHANNA

Johanna has done it again. She has created a tribute for Heath Ledger that is "other worldly". This is the time of year when Heath left this earthly existence and many of us think of that day in January when he slipped into the sleep of sleeps....

Sometimes, I don't want to stop the stuff that has to get done to listen to or watch something I have on while doing the chores. But. But, at times, I am compelled to stop anyway. That happened today. I haven't listened to Prairie Home Companion on the radio for a long time. But for some reason I had it on today and at the same time not only doing the wash, but recording a couple of on demand shows on TV....one The Promise ~ The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town ~ Bruce Springsteen

and on Starz cable TV The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (on demand until November 16, 2010) is a part of the Early Premieres along with Legion.

The song that I was compelled to stop for was Sara Watkins singing her own song
Where Will You Be?
.................................................

.................................................
Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
Singer, songwriter Sara Watkins - Where Will You Be?
Embed of October 23, 2010's Prairie Home Companion radio show. The song is at 75:43 to 79:00....I had to hunt for it, because the list is wrong at the site as to where the song is located in the show. The song is for sale at itunes, but from what I can tell from the tiny sample at itunes the live version on this radio show is much better.

And...

I used to really enjoy the TV series, Brothers and Sisters. The writing leaves a lot to be desired last year and this. But Saturday night on the CW channel, the old shows are on and one of my two favorite episodes was on October 23, 2010 - For The Children.

HEATH LEDGER ❧❧ TONIGHT WILL BE FINE ❧❧ TEDDY THOMPSON

I am still not happy with my newest upload to youtube. You can never know how it will compress and show up on youtube, so I have some glitches that I have tried to resolve, but so far they haven't resolved. And now I don't want to lose the viewer count that I have. But, having lived with me my whole life, I know me. I won't quit trying. But in the meantime, I post the text here that is at youtube, then I post the embed for now at the large size and the small size. Eventually I will delete the large size here because it doesn't fit the blog.

EDIT to original post❧

The videos on this particular post are not public at Youtube, but unlisted. I believe I have resolved one of the glitches. The public video at Youtube, still has the glitch, but it also has a prominent placement on the day and week listings under "Heath Ledger" and a respectable viewer count.

Teddy Thompson sings Leonard Cohen's song

❧ Tonight Will Be Fine ❧

Sometimes I find I get to thinking of the past.
We swore to each other then that our love would surely last.
You kept right on loving, I went on a fast,
now I am too thin and your love is too vast.

But I know from your eyes
and I know from your smile
that tonight will be fine,
will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
for a while.

I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
the windows are small and the walls almost bare,
there's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.

But I know from your eyes
and I know from your smile
that tonight will be fine,
will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
for a while.

Oh sometimes I see her undressing for me,
she's the soft naked lady love meant her to be
and she's moving her body so brave and so free.
If I've got to remember that's a fine memory.

And I know from her eyes
and I know from her smile
that tonight will be fine,
will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
for a while.

Text at Youtube ❧

Brokeback Mountain is banned from USA viewers for me. Therefore, I captured images from the movie to be able to include it in the tribute. Please, support musicians Leonard Cohen and Teddy Thompson.

I want to thank all the creative and hard working people who presented us with these wonderful movies, the TV series of Roar, the stories, the scripts, as well as the wonderful interviews with Heath. I didn’t include all of my favorite scenes in this one tribute and certainly not all my favorite interviews. Impossible in a short video. However, it was thoroughly rewarding to work on this labor of admiration and love. And it amuses me each time I watch this and it comes the place where Heath is in the interview where he is trying to avoid answering questions about his personal love life. (2:17 – 2:24)

Darfur and Sudan

To sign the petition to President Obama ~

The letter ❧

On January 9th, Southern Sudan will hold its independence referendum. Both North and South are preparing for war, leaving civilians at grave risk of major human rights violations.

I commend your administration for being engaged, but I hope you can do much more to help support peace in Southern Sudan and Darfur. I'm supporting you to do all you can to help avert a terrible conflict there.

Specifically, I hope you can do more in three areas:

1. Peacemaking: Intensify our support for the North/South peace process and dispatch a senior diplomat to revitalize the Darfur peace effort.

2. Protection: Focus the post-referendum UN peacekeeping mission on civilian protection, particularly in border areas where civilians are most vulnerable to conflict and rights violations.

3. Pressure: You have said there will be benefits for peace and consequences for war. These should be big enough to get the attention of the Sudanese or they won't matter.

Sincerely,

My letter is posted here
